It is indeed a Wiper! They are so much fun. If you can find them schooling it can be one every cast. I got into a bunch of 1-2 pounders earlier this year in Oklahoma on Lake Tenkiller. We were catching them throwing a crank bait. We must’ve casted into the boil for 30 mins. It was non stop action. If you have a dam on that lake you were talking about I could almost guarantee they up in the outflow as well!

5-12 largie

20.25 smallie summer lean girl @3.57 but I caught a 19.50” this spring that had to be close to 5. Smallies are all over the place in weight here.

Mini max is king. 👀

Welcome to SUF, fellow Dayton OH resident. Happy to see someone make it out lol. Tight lines 💪🏽

What a tank!

Glad to hear you’re on the up 💪🏽☝🏽. Would love to come on the live if you need some more people

Also if you crank on mono do you pick a different rod action?

Do you ever crank on monofilament anymore and what’s the benefit?

That fate black cranking rod is incredible 

Been a great way to not have to throw a ned around. Up shallow just barely picking it till it starts to vibrate and then letting it sit has gotten bites. I never really threw it that much for fear of being too snaggy with the trebles. Worth breaking a few off that’s for sure. It’s also been a great compliment to a jerkbait. To be quite honest in situations where I should get bit on the jerkbait, the blade bait has been shining. Just ripping it over aggressively through the school or about the middle of the water column never letting it hit the bottom, but letting it fall a few feet down has been the best way so far. Pretty remarkable. Hopefully it keeps the winter exciting lol.
